The installer or architecture should incorporate the use of Mobile Configuration Profiles or Plist entries to store or read the Secret Keys from, which is the the standard setup for macOS apps and packages.

Carl Levine that's awesome! Hopefully DNSFilter will bring it to the lower plans as well.

Just heard a law enforcement presentation on a topic that really wants me to be able to install a mobile config file on my daughter's iPhone when she is old enough to get a cell phone. I won't be able to have enterprise management as a home user, so a roaming client is out of the question. Implementation of a mobile config option like NextDNS, ControlD, and a few others utilize would be really ideal. Please develop this.

Mobile config files would be great. NextDNS actually does a great job with this. DNSFilter should emulate what they do. iOS profiles should not be restricted to enterprise only plans.
